“I’ll be turning 40 in August—and what better way to celebrate than by dancing at Flama, my beloved workplace and dance studio.
To celebrate, there will be two workshops on dance styles that hold a special meaning for me.
Show jazz is the style with which I began my career as a dance instructor over 20 years ago. Voguing, on the other hand, was the first style I taught at Flama when I started working here in 2019.
Now is a great chance to join classes for styles I don’t normally teach anymore. Come celebrate with me through dance!”
Schedule for Saturday, the 8th of August
11.00–12.15 Show Jazz (open level)
12.30–13.45 Voguing (avoin taso)
Duration: 75 min / workshop
Place: Flama Rauhankatu (Rauhankatu 15, Turku)
Price: 21 €/workshop
Lotta 40 years – Birthday Dance Special
Show Jazz
In the Show Jazz class, we start with a warm-up, move on to exercises across the studio, and finish by learning an energetic routine.
This is an open level dance class, and it’s perfect for you if you already have some dance experience.
Voguing
In the voguing class, we’ll dive into the world of ballroom culture and explore vogue femme as a dance style. We’ll go over the history and significance of the style and learn the five elements of vogue femme through hands-on exercises.
The class focuses on self-expression and attitude—everyone is welcome to come as they are and find their own way of moving. The class is open level, and no prior experience with voguing is required.
Lotta Lähteenmäki graduated as a dance teacher in 2010 and has been teaching dance for over 20 years. Her teaching experience covers a wide range of genres, levels, and age groups. Lotta’s teaching combines the joy of movement, technical expertise, and a deep connection to one’s own body.
Lotta is also a trained yoga instructor and dance and movement therapist. These backgrounds are reflected in her teaching through gentleness, body awareness, and a compassionate approach to learning. Her classes have a warm, positive, and safe atmosphere where everyone is welcome to be themselves.
For Lotta, dance and movement are a lifelong love and source of strength. She believes that movement can heal, liberate, and empower—and that everyone has the right to find their own way of expressing themselves through dance.
At Flama Lotta teaches Heels, Commercial Dance and Yoga.
